You can use a File Request to allow people to upload files to you. Pass the link from the File Request through any QR code generator service.

Hi Nancy, thanks for jumping in! I have created both the Edit and View-only links, but when I close the dialogue box and click on the copy button, I'm only getting a copy of the Edit link. How do I copy the view-only link? Thx!

2 years agoHey marci_risch - sorry to jump in here, but are you seeing two separate shared links for the files in your sharing tab?
Also, do you need both edit and view only rights on those shared links?

I can see the two tabs, but can't figure out how to copy the link for viewing 🤔

When you are on the previous step (before getting this window) do you see the option to change the default link to the 'view only' one and grab the link from there through the copy link button marci_risch?

No, it always copies the edit link...

If you access the links from the sharing tab do you also get the same results marci_risch ?
From the screenshot you sent it looks like you're inside the folder when doing this, that's why I'm asking.
